Angel was flippant of these consequences, too relieved and happy that he had brought Giles back in one piece (more or less) to measure it with the appropriate degree of seriousness recommended. [14] Ironically, Angelus' protg Spike would betray him and foil his own plan to destroy the world over two centuries later for similar reasons. [56] Later, when Faith began working as a double agent for the Mayor Richard Wilkins, the duo attempted to remove Angel's soul once again and appeared to succeed; however, Angel only acted as if he was soulless as part of a plan that exposed Faith's new loyalties.

Afterward, he revealed that he was unique among his kind for possessing a soul, as a result of the curse placed upon him as a punishment for murdering the favorite daughter of a Romani tribe.

[152] He also refused Drusilla's offer to remove his pain with her Lorophage demon because he felt that his guilt drove him to do good and kept Angelus at bay. The thought that he might someday be forgiven for his past and allowed to live on deeply affected him, causing him to latch on to it immediately. He met Faith's father back at the apartment, and urged her to reconnect with him; he then went to the Easter End of London, to the old house where Drusilla had lived with her family as a human. [20] After being purged of Twilight, Angel fell into a catatonic state. First, he helped Spike and Drusilla deploy the Judge to incinerate the human race.

This time, Whistler was convinced and told him he wanted to help despite the cost. [citationneeded], Despite his stubbornness, Angel could be impressionable and easily swayed by the thought of destiny. [18] However, Angel would say afterwards that Buffy had made him realize that condemning innocent people to die for the "greater good" to such an extreme was wrong and far too costly, and he told Whistler that he would not help him "save the world" if it meant killing innocents and causing any more collateral damage. [citationneeded] In a conversation with Spike about the natures of good and evil, Angel said: "I couldn't take my eyes off [my victims].

Instead, Angel chose to kill himself by waiting outside for the sun to rise.
